Palaran Stadium

Palaran Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium in Samarinda, Indonesia.

Palaran Stadium is a multi-purpose venue at the centre of the East Kalimantan Main Stadium Sports Complex in Samarinda, near the Samarinda–Balikpapan toll road. Opened in 2008, it is an all-seater ground with a capacity of 35,000, the largest stadium on the island of Borneo. Its design was reportedly modelled on the crescent, and it was originally planned for about 30,000 seats.

Built by the East Kalimantan provincial government for the 2008 National Games (PON XVII), the stadium was inaugurated by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on 18 June 2008. It hosted the opening ceremony on 5 July and the closing ceremony on 17 July 2008, and later the quarter-finals and final of the 2008–09 Indonesia Premier Division. It has not been used for sports events since 2018.

The stadium hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 National Games (PON XVII) and the finals of the 2008–09 Indonesia Premier Division. It also staged the East Kalimantan Governor Cup in 2016 and 2018. Since 2018 it has not been used for sporting events.

The stadium sits in the Palaran sports complex near the Samarinda–Balikpapan toll road, south-east of the city centre. Since 2018 it has not hosted sports events, so check locally before travelling for a match. The 35,000 seats are all seated, with the main stands facing the pitch.

The stadium's capacity was long misreported: without official figures, many assumed 50,000 to 67,000 seats, though it was designed for about 30,000. The 35,000 total was confirmed by the U-19 national team's organizing committee when it hosted a match there in 2014.
